💨 Abstract

The Louvre heist, where thieves stole €88 million in jewels, has sparked a unique reaction from Gen Z. While many view it as an attack on heritage, Gen Z sees it as inspiring and whimsical, comparing it to heist movies. They interpret it as a metaphor for pursuing dreams and overcoming self-doubt. Social psychologist Giovanni Travaglino suggests this reaction stems from a desire for change and escapism from a tough job market.
